    Trouble is, there’s a long line of equally toxic shitheads ready to succeed him. You think Vance or Johnson will be any better?

      That’s not how this kind of shit works. A dictatorship does not simply appoint a successor and carry on. Even if it is firmly entrenched, there will well be a power struggle among potential successors, that often brings down the entire regime. And in the US the fascists aren’t firmly entrenched just yet.

      The long line is what will help. That whole line of them will be at each other’s throats trying to take his place. It will divide their party and divide their supporters. Eventually, one will claim victory and rise to prominence, but until then, they’ll be in crippling chaos.

        The cult has been around long before Trump, long before he was groomed by Fox News. It was a cult in need of a leader. No reason it’ll dissappear after he’s gone

        Vance definitely doesn’t have anything to pull people to him. Like as much as I hate Trump, I at least see the dumb things he does his cult likes. Vance has none of that. It’s like if Jeffries tried to replace Mamdani.

        Let’s hope not. They’re both charisma vacuums. Not that I think Trump is especially charismatic either, but his personality is certainly large and hard to ignore, unlike those two gormless non-entities.
